Updating Ubuntu’s Edgy Eft to Feisty Fawn with Automatix2
Here’s the scenario. You’ve got a 6.10 box with Automatix2 installed, which you’ve used to install a number of third party additions to your nice, shiney Ubuntu box. Now you want to upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 but you’re a bit gun shy as you recall what it was like to update to 6.10.
So what’s it going to be like this time? Let’s find out!
I’ve installed Ubuntu 6.10 as a fresh install on a Lenovo S55. I then installed Automatix2 and used it to install everything available on it. Now I’m about to do an upgrade to Ubuntu 7.04, Feisty Fawn.
How to upgrade? That’s easy.
First, open a CLI by going to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal, then type:
gksu “update-manager -c -d”
This will launch the update manager and allow it to consider new versions of Ubuntu, even beta versions.
Once this launches, click the Upgrade button at the top. You’ll be asked to enter your password and then to start the upgrade.
